Pierluigi Collina is open to VAR protocol being extended even further than corners
Fifa is set to press ahead with plans to have VAR checks on the awarding of corner kicks at the 2026 World Cup despite domestic leagues rejecting the idea for the wider game.
At an October meeting of the International Football Association Board (Ifab) - which determines the laws of the game - there was agreement that VAR could be expanded to cover incorrectly shown second yellow cards that lead to a red.
But Fifa's proposal to review corners was rejected, meaning world football's governing body will need to effectively create a trial to use it in the United States, Mexico and Canada next summer.
The measures will be discussed further at the next Ifab meeting in January, but Fifa has regularly applied trials to its competitions.
